If you're using clones you could always give them about two weeks to root, and then flower them right away. Keep some of the lower branches trimmed, and focus on the main cola. If your room is only 4 ft. high, then your plants can really only be about 2.5 maybe 3 feet tall at best considering the pot or system you're using is more than likely going to be at least 6 inches tall. I would use no more than 1 gallon pots.

Small pots and Low stress training. The smaller the plant the smaller the yeild obviously, but you could sprout em veg em for like 2 weeks then switch you light to 12/12 and they'll start budding and wont grow to big.

smaller pots = smaller plant, also a pot 3in deep but 10in in diameter would make it short but there would still be a decent amount of soil for the roots

dude, jsut do a sea of green and grow them on 12/12 from the start. or sea of green it and buy a 10 pack of some auto flower fem seeds and just keep taking cuttings and cloning them ( well you can only clone so long before they start growing deformed)

really? i did not know that. how come?

because autoflowering plants go by age. once they hit around 30days in to the grow they automaticly flower and then die off because there genetics are breed to flower by age.

if u take a clone from a auto plant around 25 days in that clone still thinks its getting ready to bud and starts to flower. there really no veg time for auto flower plants

hope u understand and that makes sense just smoke a bowl with some hash oil on top :mrgreen:

The smaller the tub the plant will be in will aid in keeping it small but just keep topping.But if the plants are gonna be flowered why would you want to keep the plants small.If it is because of room then a plant will double and most of the time tripple in size during flowering.So if the room is 3 ft tall i would flower at less than a ft just under.
